To realise the potential of the VC, it is neces- sary to cultivate within it good group cohesion and vitality. Using empirical and experimental research methods, this study explores the ef- fect of users' trust in the VC Platform (VCP) on group cohesion and vitality and how brand and perceived privacy security can affect us- ers' trust in the VC. The research results indi- cate that the brand of the VCP can directly af- fect users' trust in the VC, and can also influe- nce it indirectly through users' perceived pri- vacy protection and perceived security protec- tion. Further, this study also confu'ms that the performance of the VC (group cohesion and vitality) is significantly affected by users' trust in the VC. The results of this study can provide theoretical guidance for internet companies to maintain and enhance the value of VCs.展开更多

We investigate the electrical properties of an arbitrary hammock network, which has not been resolved before, and propose the exact potential formula of an arbitrary m × n hammock network by means of the Recursion-Transform method with current parameters(RT-I) pioneered by one of us [Z. Z. Tan, Phys. Rev. E 91(2015) 052122], and the branch currents and equivalent resistance of the network are derived naturally. Our key technique is to setting up matrix equations and making matrix transformation, the potential formula derived is a meaningful discovery, which deduces many novel applications. The discovery of potential formula of the hammock network provides new theoretical tools and techniques for related scientific research.展开更多
